Job Summary:

We're a multidisciplinary team that supports how we make headsets to fit everyone. Data analysts will be responsible for sharing information about our anthropometric database to many stakeholders across the company.

Job Description:

This person will provide statistical analysis support for one large project involving 3D scan and human factors data that is ongoing. The person will perform statistical analyses and write reusable analysis code in support of the project. They may be asked to prepare dashboards, charts and slides for presentations, and various reports. They may also be asked to help design data analysis plans on adjacent smaller studies.

Responsibilities:

• Examine data and produce meaningful insights from 3D geometry data.
• Perform exploratory data analysis and identify any problems or errors in the data.
• Plan for and execute on statistical analysis for a large and growing data set (N=3000+ people, potentially hundreds of data points per person)
• Generate and test hypotheses and analyze and interpret the results of product experiments.
